kudo_os: As you can see from looking down, all we (myself and some friends) did was put a camera on a tripod, and manually rotate it and take photos. We were students at the time so we had no access to anything fancy, just a lot of manual effort.
We also made panoramas of several other locations on campus, which I hope to upload soon. Unfortunately, for this and the others, I no longer have the original resolution photographs. At the time these were taken (2007 I believe), we were using a much older, and much slower stitcher and had to downsample. In comparison, ICE is amazing and I wish I had the original images we took.
